I have a 2005 LL GT Convertible. 5 spd 45k. However recently it started making a loud whiney noise when it's cold and stops as soon as it starts to get warm. At first i suspected a heat shield came loose, but noooooooooooooooo! Then i looked at the belt, it looks ok to me . But i was then advised that it's probably the belt tensioner as the noise does seem to be coming from that direction because the bearings in the pulley do have a habit of failure. Is there anything special i need to know when i try to do this job? Gotta wait til next weekend as the car won't be driven anyway. No time this weekend. Thanks.

 

Gee, i'm glad i'm not holding my breath waiting for all the experts to give a little help.

 

Friend, you've posted in a part of the forum most where most folks will not see your post. Repost in the warranty/service issues section or in the main 2005-2009 section. More people will see it there.
